Abstract

AbstractExtensive research and great progress of (K,Na)NbO3 (KNN)‐based lead‐free piezoelectric films have been driven by the current legislation and the requirement for sustainable development of society and environment in the applications of microelectromechanical systems. A comprehensive discussion of the recent achievement in KNN‐based films is presented herein. First, the available synthetic techniques, chemical modification, the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of KNN‐based films are reviewed, followed by an introduction of the crystal structures and electrical properties of KNN‐based epitaxial films in comparison with the bulk ceramics. Finally, the applications of KNN‐based films for the sensors, the energy harvesters, and energy storage devices are addressed, and current challenges and prospects for future work are discussed.
